Five Reasons NOT to Dine With A Werewolf...


Good Friday Morning, Friends...

One more day and it's the weekend again! So I thought we'd do a little Friday Five, just for fun. Below is my list of five reasons NOT to dine with a werewolf...



5. That's more than just dirt under those nails.

Ooh gross, I know, but think about it. The big bad wolf protects his mate, as he should, but I'm pretty sure wolves are not welcome at the local Petsmart spa for manicure...


4. If you're a beta wolf, your wait could be excruciating.
Yep, If you're low on the genetic totem pole, you eat last. Now really, do you want what the other wolves left behind? Issh.


3. Ever found a hair in your food?

Eat with a werewolf and you'll be trying to dig past the hair just to find the food.


2. It's so rare, but surprisingly warm for having never been to the kitchen.

Have to have opposable thumbs to use the stove, right.


1. Hasenpfeffer or Squirrel - who can choose?

Aw, the delicacies of nature!


What about you, any reason you wouldn't want to eat with a werewolf? Or any reason you would?

Have a great weekend!

oh Serena...didja have to go there? LOL I would prefer to think glam thoughts about werewolves...reality needs to go take a seat in the corner!

Serena Shay said...

LOL...Hey s7anna, yeah reality is not the lovely fantasy of shifters we like to see in the books, however, have you ever wondered about what our shifters eat?

As I was searching for a blog topic I realized that I never write about my shifters in animal form eating...now I know why...hehehe

How about a reason to eat with a werewolf...My thought, watching him use that extra long and wily tongue to clean up afterwards...woof ;)

Hi All, Rick and Trent here, characters from the book Serena's working on. Please be warned, Serena is a little odd today as she had very little sleep last night. We kept her up, well past her bedtime and now she is acting quite goofy.

We'll try to restrain her...

Love it! Both the blog and that lovely picture.

I'm currently marketing a novel in which the werewolf protag falls in love with a vegetarian witch. She gets to sit at the dinner table with the pack, poor girl. (They eat family style, alphas first, then plates passed around to the rest. The omegas, down at the far end, rarely get much.) Fortunately she had the foresight to stick granola bars in her purse. I figure the wolves are going to have a couple of token side dishes, grains and that, for their human bodies, but the majority of the dishes would be meat tartare. And yes, all dinner conversation stops while they "wolf" their food.

Oh, and when they argue? He calls her "grass-eater" and "herbivore."

Oh my gosh, Pat, that sounds wonderfully funny! And eating family style for a vegetarian who falls in love with I'm guessing an alpha is gonna make for some pain inspiring meals for our heroine... she's going to be awfully close to the initial action...Yikes!!

LOL "Grass-eater" and "hebivore" good ones, what will she call him? heheheh

Paris said...

LOL! You guys crack me up;-)Grass-eater and herbivore! Great post and I love the pic! I think the "ick" factor would be pretty high when dining with werewolves and it just might turn me into a vegetarian.

Serena Shay said...

Hey Paris,
Yeah, that meal just might make a convert out of a great many people, though I think I'm just too midwestern grown to leave the steaks behind. hehe

I suppose it helps that they are faceless in my grocers cooler!

Have a great weekend!

She calls him "meat breath."

His biggest problem, as the alpha provider, is learning how to cook meatless dishes. They eat out a lot during the initial courtship.

Forgot to mention the impact a meatless diet would have on one's personal scent. Or, as her lover warns her, "We eat things that smell like you." His aunt recommends she rub some beef gravy on her skin so she doesn't smell so much like an entree.

Sometimes I worry I think about things like this far too deeply ...

Serena Shay said...

LOL...a beef gravy lotion, Oh my! You know, with Thanksgiving coming up I'm going to have to try really hard not to laugh when the gravy is passed! ;)

Nah, don't worry about thinking about this stuff too deeply...your making an awesome world!!

Savanna Kougar said...

Wow... I really can't add to all that. Like Paris said, you guys are cracking me up!
Friday Five... that's good.

I think if I were dating a werewolf, I'd demand his human nature take over while dining with me. Otherwise, howl at the moon by yourself.

Serena Shay said...

LOL...there ya go Savanna, Mr. Wolf must use his table manners or no howling ~I love that~

Have a great weekend!
